Ant Removal Process Northwood

How We Eliminate Ant Colonies

First, we identify the ant species and locate their entry points and nesting sites. Different ants require different approaches, and we’ve seen every type that invades Northwood homes.

We treat the colony at its source, not just the visible ants. This includes targeted baiting systems that worker ants carry back to the nest, eliminating the queen and entire population.

Then we seal entry points and create protective barriers around your home. You’ll get a clear explanation of what we found, what we treated, and what to expect moving forward. Most customers see complete elimination within days, not weeks.

Comprehensive Ant Control Services

Complete Ant Elimination Package

You get thorough inspection and identification of all ant activity, not just the obvious trails. We locate hidden nests, entry points, and conditions that attract ants to your property.

Our treatment targets the entire colony structure using professional-grade products that aren’t available to consumers. We handle carpenter ants that threaten your home’s structure, pharaoh ants that spread bacteria, and persistent pavement ants that keep coming back.

Follow-up monitoring ensures complete elimination. We return to verify the colony is gone and address any remaining activity. Your service includes prevention recommendations to keep ants from returning and priority scheduling if you need us back.

How long does it take to completely eliminate an ant infestation?

Most ant colonies are eliminated within 7-14 days of treatment, but you’ll typically see dramatic reduction in activity within 24-48 hours. The timeline depends on the ant species and colony size. Carpenter ants with large, established colonies may take slightly longer than smaller pavement ant infestations. We use targeted baiting systems that worker ants carry back to the nest, which eliminates the queen and entire population systematically. If you’re still seeing significant activity after two weeks, we return at no charge to reassess and retreat if necessary.

Are your ant control treatments safe around children and pets?

Yes, we use treatment methods specifically chosen for their safety profile around families. Our baiting systems are placed in tamper-resistant stations that keep children and pets away from the product. We avoid broadcast spraying inside homes and instead use targeted applications in areas where family members don’t have direct contact. All products are EPA-approved and applied according to strict safety guidelines. We’ll walk you through any precautions before treatment and explain exactly what we’re using and where. Most treatments allow normal household activities to continue immediately.

Why do ants keep coming back after I use store-bought products?

Store-bought sprays and baits only kill the ants you see, not the colony producing them. When you spray visible ants, the colony simply sends out more workers. Many retail products actually make the problem worse by causing colonies to split and relocate. Professional treatment targets the entire colony structure, including the queen who’s laying thousands of eggs. We also identify and eliminate the conditions attracting ants to your home. Without addressing moisture issues, food sources, and entry points, you’re just treating symptoms instead of solving the root problem.

How do you determine what type of ants are in my home?

We identify ant species through visual inspection and behavior analysis during our initial assessment. Different ants have distinct characteristics – carpenter ants are larger and often leave wood shavings, pavement ants create small dirt mounds, and pharaoh ants form multiple satellite colonies. We examine their trails, nesting preferences, and feeding patterns. Proper identification is crucial because each species requires different treatment approaches. Carpenter ants need moisture source elimination, while pharaoh ants require special non-repellent baits to avoid colony splitting. We explain what we find and why the specific treatment plan will work for your particular ant problem.

What's the difference between carpenter ants and regular ants?

Carpenter ants are significantly larger than most common household ants and cause structural damage by excavating wood to build their nests. They don’t eat wood like termites, but they hollow out galleries that weaken wooden structures over time. You’ll often find wood shavings or sawdust near their activity areas. Carpenter ants are attracted to moisture and often indicate underlying water problems in your home. They’re also more difficult to eliminate because their colonies can be massive and located both inside and outside your home. Regular ants like pavement ants are smaller, don’t damage structures, and are primarily seeking food sources rather than nesting sites.

Do you guarantee your ant control service will work?

Yes, we stand behind our ant elimination service with a satisfaction guarantee. If you’re still seeing significant ant activity two weeks after treatment, we return at no additional charge to reassess and retreat as needed. Our guarantee covers the specific ant problem we treated, not new infestations from different sources. We also provide guidance on preventing future ant problems and will prioritize your call if issues arise. Most customers see complete elimination within our initial treatment, but we’re committed to making sure the job is done right. Our reputation in Northwood depends on delivering results, not just showing up and spraying.
